NEW YORK - Merck & Co said on Wednesday it has increased production of the measles vaccine to meet an uptick in demand in the United States in the midst of the country’s biggest outbreak in 25 years.
“Despite what we’ve seen as a huge uptick in the number of cases ... the demand side of the equation hasn’t been outstripping our underlying capacity,” Merck Chief Marketing Officer Mike Nally, who also runs the firms Global Human Health business, said in an interview. U.S. officials deemed the disease eliminated in 2000, yet outbreaks still happen as infected travelers expose vulnerable populations to the virus, particularly in communities with many vaccine skeptics.
